Robert Kubica, the Polish Formula One star severely injured in February during a rally crash in Italy, plans to make a decision within six weeks on whether he can return to the Lotus-Renault GP team in 2012.

"Robert is exercising the right elbow by flexing and tensing it; soon he will start twisting it," Daniele Morelli, his manager, told Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport. "The hand is progressing, the movements are there and that's the most important thing. Strength is lacking but it's just a matter of time.

"I often talk to [Renault team boss Eric] Boullier. He'll have an answer, whether positive or negative, by early November, when we'll all have a clearer idea. I'm optimistic."

Boullier and Lotus-Renault GP want Kubica--a gifted driver and a onetime Grand Prix winner--to return, but they need to make a decision soon about their 2012 F1 driver lineup.
